Stage 1 · Records
Requested early, with a checklist.
Four services for established Florida businesses, scoped in an engagement letter.
Returns prepared as soon as the records allow, not at the extension deadline. The point is that you know the number with months to plan around it. Where a position is arguable we will say so plainly rather than taking it quietly on your signature.
Requested early, with a checklist.
Queries raised as they arise.
Figures explained before signing.
After you sign, ahead of the deadline.
Reconciled and complete.
Presented clearly, not just correctly.
What the figures actually show.
No assurance claimed, ever.
Statements prepared from your records, presented so they can actually be read. They carry no assurance and we label them accordingly — if a lender requires reviewed or audited statements, that needs a CPA firm and we will tell you rather than let you find out at the bank.
The year is full of deadlines that have nothing to do with the tax return: payroll deposits, quarterly filings, sales tax, the Florida annual report. We hold that calendar so a good year is not spoiled by a penalty that was purely administrative.
Every filing and deadline held.
Run and deposited on schedule.
Quarterly, annual and sales tax.
Kept and available to you.
Figures you will actually read.
Margins and compensation examined.
While decisions still change things.
Where it becomes legal or investment work.
Once a year, before the year ends, is when decisions can still change the outcome. We go through margins, owner compensation and whether the current structure still fits — and where a question becomes legal or investment advice, we say so and refer you.
A free consultation on where things stand and what it would cost to do it earlier.
